There are three things in the .desktop that should conform to the HIG. I'm marking this bug as affecting multiple projects, so it might not violate all three, but it violates at least one. :)
Relevant snippets of the HIG below:
1. You should not Include descriptive words in your title. For example, Dexter is called "Dexter," not "Dexter Address Book."
2. If your app is easily categorized or described with a generic name, you should use that for the GenericName attribute in your app's .desktop file. For example, Maya is a calendar, so its generic name is "Calendar."
3. The comment should be a short sentence or phrase beginning with a verb and containing the primary nouns that your app deals with. For example, the following are appropriate comments:
* Maya: Browse and schedule events
* BeatBox: Listen to music and podcasts
* Lingo: Look up definitions
* Postler: Send and receive mail
* Scratch: Edit text files
* Marlin: Browse and manage your files
